    Excellent camera. Easy to set up and link to your account. Night vision is very bright and has the option to turn on the spot light. It does glitch from time to time and needs to be reset, but it can be reset remotely. Video quality overall is great. The only issue I have is with the accessories. The outdoor power wire works well but is pricy. The solar pannel is useless. It doesnt put out enough power to maintain charge.

    I’m extremely frustrated with the Arlo Outdoor 2K camera. I absolutely do not recommend it. You can only record if you pay for their overpriced subscription. Without it, this camera does absolutely nothing because it has no micro SD card slot — zero local storage. Basically, if you don’t subscribe, the camera is useless. On top of that, their subscription is one of the most expensive on the market. This feels like a total money grab.

    I had not had any experience with wireless cameras until I got these.They are working fine,but pretty worthless without getting Arlo’s plan or some other way of recording the video.In our case,the best internet we can get out here in the country is a WiFi hotspot jet pack which is limited. It will work with a plan,but you will have to connect it to a wired router which is not available to us to use a hub or another recording device.Also seems to use a lot of our limited internet!

    I purchased this camera to put outside of the Airbnb I own. It was easy to install, great video quality, and the app is super easy to use. I really like that it notifies me every time someone/thing moves in front of it.

    The camera gets good images. My only complaint is that the notifications are delayed by almost a whole minute. Unless the intruder stays and puts on a show, he/she can take my package and leave before I get the notification.

    Camera is working well, has great picture and has last almost a month now without needing a charge. My only concern is that I needed to upgrade my app before installing the new camera and I have the same screens and features. Not always sure newer is better
